Speak up on Syria attack

The Obama administration is a master magician at creating problems to mask other problems. Magicians call it smoke and mirrors.

The major problems facing the United States are spending and budget ceilings. Our president and Congress - to keep their jobs - have spent more than we can pay back. Soon, Congress and the president will have to be responsible for a 10 percent cut in spending or raise our debt ceiling.

To forestall this, this administration has created a number of "crisis" that the American people don't like: laying of air traffic controllers and civilian workers and grounding the Blue Angels.

The latest crisis is Syria using chemical weapons killing about 1,900 adults and 400 children. To solve this problem, this administration wants to fire Tomahawk missiles at Syria and undoubtedly kill more men, women and children. Our allies don't want to participate. Fifty-eight percent of Americans don't want to participate, and for what purpose? What happens if the Syrian government ignores our missiles? What then? Perhaps more importantly - who pays?

This is now the time to call your Congress representative. If Americans don't speak up quickly, we are all responsible.

- Charles W. PressonMilton
